The Tailors
Come Dig Me Up Trash Aesthetics

The Tailors: Come Dig Me Up

I recall the Tailors' earlier work as being grittier and nicely hazy but here it’s a much more polished form of UK Americana - Aberfeldy and the Magic Numbers spring to mind - while Adam Killip sometimes sounds as genteel as Chris Martin. It moves between piano-led singer-songwriter melancholy and punchier pop but its sheen tends to make it slip past too easily. ‘Flying Blues’, with its Lemonheads-like blast of guitars leaves an impression, as does the wordsmithery of ‘Crocodiles’, but ‘Pictures of Her’ sounds like Embrace as soon as the band kicks in (bad Britpop we don’t need). They need a little more mud on their boots and dust in their throats.
